Z Fold 3 Wi-Fi not turning on

[JP19]

After yesterday's sudden restart, my ZF3 wifi is no longer turning on anymore. This is the first time that my Samsung phone is experiencing such basic issue. Really disappointed that this One UI 5.1 update since February security patch update has been breaking many Z Fold 3s. Be it wifi, mic and some users with navigation button issue.

Woah.. seems like yours is worse than mine back then. My inner screen was still working back then. I guess ur warranty alr expired?

Yes..no more warranty...the upgrade of software spoilt my zfold 3. Hp...

If not, u can try to visit the service centre to see if able to get complimentary repair, but u will still need to pay for labour and out-of-warranty fees, which I feel still not too bad, as compared to purchasing a new phone.

I am facing the same problem, in Japan and suddenly not able to turn on wifi after it froze. Z Fold 3. Very very dissapointed with Z fold.

Hi, yours is local (Singapore) set? Or yours is Japan set and also experiencing the same issue?

[Pixiehollow]

Singapore set. I have also feedback to Sumsung.

But I think the Samsung Live chat is useless, they won't listen to us one. Have to go down physically to the service centre to show them the issue, then if the customer service officer knows, it could be a one time goodwill repair.

Initially i thought my router had issues until i came to this community and learnt many facing the same problem. Thank you.

For me, when I experienced this issue in April this year, I knew about it because last December onwards, there were Members alr having this issue after One UI 5.0 December 2022 security patch update, but back then I couldn't understand it until I experienced it myself. So no worries, definitely not our issue and sadly, every Z Fold 3 user will experience this issue eventually.

Thank you. After 1st year, the inner screen fold bubble issue appeared. Complimentary change at svc ctr. 1 year later, bubbled again. No more goodwill replacement. And 3rd year, wifi feature cannot turn on. I was hoping such costly hdp could last at least 5 years. I still have 2 weeks in Japan without wifi :(
